5.0 out of 5 stars The differences of the two versions explained..., April 21, 2005

By	Michael Arentz (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently emailed the company that's releasing the DVD and asked them what the differences between the R-rated and Unrated version were. This is strait from them... "The difference is that there are two sex scenes removed from the U.S. theatrical version for the MPAA. We included the Unrated version to satisfy the director's original vision." Also, there will be NO English dubbed audio track. Only Spanish audio and English subtitles. I hope this answers the questions of people that are as curious about this kind of stuff as I am. :^) Take care!!

5.0 out of 5 stars HEARTBREAKING AND BRILLIANT, March 3, 2005

By	Dustin Merton (Lubbock, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i just happened to be in dallas tx while this movie was playing and i am so glad that i had seen it. this movie is a testament to the bonds that form in a family. a gay uncle is forced to care for his nephew when his mother was detained in a foreign country. that is the basic premise of the movie. the true beauty of the movie comes through when the uncle is faced with the boy's grandmother blackmails the uncle into giving up custody of the child. you really see the emotion and the torment the uncle goes through when the grandmother uses his lifestyle against him in her fight to take away the child. in a very short time you see a father son relationship form between the two and it rips your heart out to see them separated. the young boy knows all about the world and knows all about his uncle and his homosexuality and the fact the he still loves and encourages his uncle is a beautiful thing to see. the movie hits all the right notes and does not pull any punches and lets you see who these characters are. i love this move and cant wait to get it on dvd, see it if you get the chance

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope we get the uncensored version, March 12, 2005

By	Yves DEMUNTER "neurosis1968" (Belgium) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw this movie in Spain, including the explicit sexscene in the beginning. I hope that is what the unrated version is. I heard about several (if not all) screenings in the US with the first (sex) scene cut from the movie. We're adults here thank you, just don't censor art and distort the director's vision.
